Overview
Introduction to Written Legal Skills is an SQE2 revision guide for the SQE2 legal skills specification. It demonstrates how you will be assessed at SQE2 in the legal skills of Case and Matter Analysis, Legal Research, Legal Writing and Legal Drafting. The book makes clear links to SQE1 Functioning Legal Knowledge to help you understand how the law you learnt in SQE1 can be applied in practice, and there are SQE2-style sample questions to build your confidence in answering assessment questions. Each chapter examines the SQE2 assessment criteria and outlines the essentials of each skill, followed by two SQE2-style practice questions with sample answers, and detailed commentary illustrating how the answers compare to the SRA’s competency requirements.

Reviews
These written skills books are excellent. I only got them just before my exams but still found them incredibly useful. Each question includes both strong and weak sample answers, with clear explanations of why they work—or don’t. I just wish I’d had more time with them! I passed, and I wholeheartedly recommend them.
